Rafaela Moura da Silva dos Santos has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.69, set at Paraíso Fall DC 2025, puts her in the top 10.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 357th in Brazil. Across 5 competitions since November 2024, she has put 140 official solves on the record across four events.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
